Hi,
I had this sensitive spot pop up on my index finger joint earlier this week, and at first I thought I maybe burnt myself cooking or it was a pimple. But as time passed, my anxiety got me thinking, what if this was a heretic whitlow? I do have a new sexual partner and we had a condom break recently so obviously my anxiety is freaking me out.
The pimple or burn could have gotten irritated during the initial healing phases because I tend to do dishes with no gloves in the morning. But I’ve just never experience a pimple swell like this so I’m a little worried.
All this can totally just be in my head and a coincidence ![]()
Thank you,
Just an anxious user
